This year, we will feature contributions from every park in the region, including 16 presentations and at least 20 posters. Some of the presentation topics include talks on "Integrating Cultural Resource Preservation Priorities at a Landscape Scale", "Climate Change Threats to NCR Museum Property", and "Predictions of Coastal Vegetation Change Associated with Sea Level Rise"

Please extend this invitation to all offices and divisions of your staff, partners, volunteers, teachers, students, or other individuals who take an active interest in the resources of our parks. In order to register, please RSVP to Michelle Carter (michelle_carter@nps.gov) by April 8. To enter NCTC campus, you must RSVP in order to get on the security list.
